Capacity: The capacity of a stormwater drainage system is the flow volume or rate that a facility (e.g., pipe, pond, vault, swale, ditch, drywell, etc.) is designed to safely contain, receive, convey, reduce pollutants from or infiltrate stormwater that meets a specific performance standard. There are different performance standards for stormwater quality, detention, conveyance, and flood control, depending on location. Containment: The temporary storage of potentially contaminated stormwater or process wastewater when a hard - plumbed connection to the City wastewater system is not available for disposal. Control Structure: A device used to hold back or direct a calculated amount of stormwater to or from a stormwater management facility. Typical control structures include vaults or manholes fitted with baffles, weirs, or orifices. Conveyance: The transport of stormwater from one point to another. Destination. The ultimate discharge point for the stormwater runoff from a particular site. Destination can include on -site infiltration such as surface infiltration facilities, drywells and sumps, and soakage trenches, and off -site flow to ditches, drainage ways, rivers and streams, and off -site storm pipes. Detention Facility: A facility designed to receive and hold stormwater and release it at a slower rate, usually over a number of hours. The full volume of stormwater that enters the facility is eventually released. Stormwater Management Manual 1 -6 Eugene 2014
